Welcome motherfuckers! It's time for the Romish Manganathan episode, Thursday episode of the podcast. It says here use it Romish uses core keyboard to make typing sounds audible. And then do I carry on tapping as I read? Up to you really. Well it's not up to me, is it? Because I'm following instructions on the thing. So what when you put this together, what did you envision? That you sort of do a bit of tapping as a sort of intro. This is like you are you're so it's a bit like you're writing an email. Dear listeners on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcast. I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for your emails. All six thousand five hundred and ten of them. After a long time believing the way I said rangabe had people not emailing, I want to apologize. Why do I want to apologise . You it's not my . Sorry, no, you're scripting me apologizing. Why not? I didn't because I didn't do anything wrong . Just a quick apology and we move on. No, not for me. I'm not apologizing. Don't be so told. This isn't my fault. Okay, I want to apologise on behalf of Ben Green specifically. He logged into you put we logged in. I didn't fucking log into anything. Now I know why this has been scripted like this. We logged into the correct inbox . We logged into the correct inbox. I didn't by the way. It was the team. It's nothing to do with me. And it turns out email is uh email is still alive and well. We appreciate you in all your emails . Sorry, what is this? As well as Ben . I'm sorry. Yeah, keep going. Okay. As well as Ben, I am sorry. Oh no. And in a lot of ways, the whole team is to blame. I agree with that. Hang on. Ben, this is just you, isn't it? What do you mean? As in, why are you throwing us all under the bus? No, no, I'm just saying we're as a collective we're all sorry. That's a nice I I've not seen mum's name mentioned in this at all. We're she's part of the team. Yeah. Are you sorry, Shanti? For what? For what? Don't be so sorry. No, tell me what you're sorry about. Okay, you're accepting that you're sorry. Yeah. Explain to me what you're apologizing for. Because Biddy received the email on the right box. No. That's not true. We got the emails to the right box. Uh somebody Ben Green was looking in the wrong box . And now he's trying to put it onto all the blame. Yeah. I I I don't mind taking the blame. Everybody makes mistakes. But not uh let me be clear, everybody does make mistakes. But not everybody has made this mistake. One mistake. This is like this makes me a positive like let's move forward. I've not seen you uh you've not apologized. I apologized a lot last week. Yeah, you are? In a lot of ways. How is the whole team to blame though? That's why I don't understand. Because what? Tell me how the whole team's blame. Rummy Swangan 8 and show. Yeah. Why didn't you correct them? If you How am I Mum, every week we got one email, so what am I supposed to say? Am I supposed to say oh sorry, dumbfuck? Are you definitely looking in the right inbox? F I I assume that would be hard to do. You know in English vocabulary you know all the filth. Yeah. Except the good words. Sorry. Where the hell did you learn? Where do you think? Do you do you think you I never used to do that? When I was six months old, you taught me all the swear words alongside the presidents of the country. I never did. This is motherfucker. Can you say it? Motherfucker. Ask this . Anyway, the point is Ben looked in the wrong inbox. And he has now scripted this opening to the episode in order to try and put the blame on all of us . Please keep emailing in. Look forward to hearing from you. Live long and reply strong. Best wishes, Romesh. Please keep emailing in. We love our listeners, don't we, Mum? Of course we do.

Which is not Mum doesn't have one by the way. No, no. So this is pass the keyboard to Mum, and then Mum is supposed to read the next bit of the auto cue while typing. Well she can just make it up. That's just a guide. Hi. Why does it you just go, Mum, would you like it? Go Okay, Mum, would you like a go? No, I'm not worried. Let's move on. Let's move on . Now in all seriousness I know I've been taking the piss out of Ben. The truth is we're all very sorry about the email cock up, right? And we thought we're only we only got one email. I am sorry as well. I'm so sorry. So in order to try and make some sort of attempt to redress what is clearly an oversight , this week is an em ail Well we said it's an email special now immediately we're not we're not gonna talk about emails.

There there must be Turtles. Yeah. I think you were thinking of turtles, Mum. Oh maybe I used the wrong word. Yeah, you definitely did. You did. It's turtles. Because back home one of the guys lost it. His dick to a turtle. Yeah, I'm not making it up. He had to live without the the dick. I don't know what he did after that for Bangkok. Is this a true story? It is a true story. He went to wash his ass. Yeah. And something bit. Yeah. And uh how does he know it was a turtle?

What can tor ces eat penises ? No to be fair, Ben, that is a good question to fire back at me. What am I asking you to look for? Do turtles are there any incidents of turtles attacking humans? Yes. Okay. They can uh bite and injure humans. They generally do so only in self defense, if they feel threatened or if they mistake f fingers for food. But that could be a penis, isn't it?

So your job is literally to give people an epic night out. You're on stage, people having like time of their life, but when did someone last give that to you? When did you last sit in an audience or turn up somewhere and just think, Yeah, this is brilliant. It's a very good point. Thank you so much for asking the question. And obviously I'm somebody that does deliver epic nights out, you know. I I don't want to overstate it, but my job is literally to sort of change people's lives through the live experience. Do you know what I mean? They they come, they watch the show . It's transformative. You know, a lot of people are saying it's transformative. It's a comedy show, yeah. Yeah, it's a comedy show that but it's you know it's an incredible experience. Then sometimes I watch audience members leave and I think to myself, God, I wish I was you. The one curse of being me is that I don't get to watch me. It's sad. And sometimes I think, well, maybe I could watch somebody else. Do you know what I mean? But the truth is, a lot of the time we just think, I'm not gonna do that. I've got like a long list of people that I'm gonna go see, a long list of artists that I'd love to go and see. A lot of time I think about I'm gonna go and then I never go. But then every time I do go, it's an amazing experience. The ones I've actually done, you always remember, you talk to your friends about them, you go with your friends , and uh you just think, I'm so glad I did this. And every time you go to one of those, as you're leaving, you go, we should do this more. But thankfully, Virgin Red rewards include epic experiences: gigs, events, afternoon teas, hotel stays, you earn virgin points from everyday life and redeem them on something genuinely memorable. And honestly, I know better than most what a great live experience feels like from the stage. Turns out it's just as good from the audience. If you want more of those experiences that actually stay with you, the ones worth sharing, Virgin Red is how you make them happen. Say yes. Virgin Red means go. Ready to dive in? Become a member and start unlocking rewards that make life feel a little more epic. Can I go to one of Okay, should we do another email? Hey yay, what special? Five years ago. This is anonymous. Five years ago, shortly after getting married, my husband convinced me we should get a cat to complete the family. I'd never had a pet, and assumed it'd be like a fluffy little roommate, cute, manageable. Wrong. The cat and I did not vibe. I gave it a full year of trial being silently judged in my own home. My husband adored the cat. The cat adored my husband. I was clearly the third wheel. After many emotional conversations, we made the difficult decision to rehome the cat. My husband was sad, but Uh I did get that the cat belonged to the b the his par ents . Yeah. Husband parents, isn't it? Yeah it's anonymous, his or her. Uh anyway. Yeah, it's not a problem. She can give the cat away because there's no wives between them. Yeah. Buy them another cat . Wildly available. Cats are? Yeah. So buy a cats. Cats are why they are and and give it give it to them. Why? Why? Because they are sad. No, they're not sad, mum. They're being pricks. Okay. They're not being pri cks, Mum. It's not their cat. And now they're not talking to them because they gave away their cat . Do you know what they're talking about? Oh the the couple's cat. Yeah. The couple gave away their cat. Now I got it. Now the in-laws are not talking to them. No, they are pricks then. There we go. Definitely . There we go. Definitely they were looking for something to pick on them. Yeah, exactly. Horrible people. Horrible. What I would say to you is if somebody that would get angry with you for a decision you've made about your life has stopped talking to you, congratulations. Alright? I tell you something, Mike. Please do. It takes about the comments on on the phone or everything. Yeah. If they attack you, send it back to them because they have nothing better to do. They are not successful, they are lose missing on something . Don't worry about this comment, but they say nasty things to you. Just pray and send it back to them. Okay, you talking about this or have you been looking at my Instagram? Pardon? Are you talking about this still ? No. It's a different thing. Different thing. You can cut it off. No, you're tomorrow. No, it's fine. But what are you talking about? Talking about, you know Have you been getting upset about negative comments? No, no, I haven't had any negative . Anyway , That's actually true. Has mum had any negative comments online at all? No. No. Only you give me negative comments. What when have I said anything negative to you? Okay. No, please, I'd just quote me directly. I forgot. What you forgot. I'd love you to tell me something negative I've said about you. I'll mark it down. Yeah. I will let you down. Okay . Yesterday you m tried to fool me at the at the restaurant. I think it's not that was not a negative that was that was not a negative thing. What did you do? What? What did you do? I told Mum it was that C Bass was pronounced base . So then but that was that was just a that was like fun bit of fun. Just imagine the waitress coming. Can I take your order ? Then you go you're born here. I take your word for it . Luckily I didn't see I said it's pronounced BOIC But you knew I was joking it was so obvious I was joking I was joking anyway it didn't blok come out like that. We said to the wait the wait just come over and then Mum said, Can I ask you a question? How do you pr and then I stopped you and I said, Sorry, we're having a little bit of a funny thing about how you pronounce bass and bass and obviously she's just trying to take the order so she's like, Oh that sounds hilarious. What a what a hilarious family. I'm lucky enough to be serving today. Can you just tell me what you fucking So do you want the bath? Okay, cool. It was delicious. She was actually very polite. I like it. Polite. Yeah, she pretended she found it entertaining, but it really is embarrassing. Um so anyway, what I would say to you is your in laws are out of order. Yeah. I do I do think when you say what should I do, the answer is nothing. Okay? If they choose to not talk to you, they are losing, it's on them and I don't think any good can come from trying to take ownership from somebody of somebody else's reaction. If that's what they want to do, that's what they want to do, okay? Leave it. And they will regret it in time to come. It's on them. It's not on you. I hope that you feel alright about that. What do you think about that, mum? Bit of advice . What do you give it out of ten? Ten out of ten I can tell you. Ten out of ten. Mum are you a dog or a cat person ? Uh both. Back home I had cats and dogs. Yeah. You had a dog called Ravi, didn't you ? Yeah. And I came here because of the the houses it's all cooped up and not big enough.

Okay, time for another email because it's the Oooo ooooh email special Ike is it? Not Ike, no. Hi Romesh and Shanti. Love the show. It's always a guaranteed laugh for my commuta. Quick dilemma, my girlfriend has to sleep with the fan on every night, even in winter. Ah, me too, man. I hate it because it dries my mouth out, it gives me a sore throat. And surely circulating air can't be good for you. Why? She says I'm being dramatic, I say I'm being hy dehydrated. Actually, Josh, I've got to say, quite a witty email. Please settle the settle settle this for us. Who's in the right? And what should we do? Thanks, Josh . Mum. Mm-hmm. Josh's other half likes to have the fan on every night. Yeah. He doesn't like it. She doesn't like it. No. She likes it. He doesn't like it. He doesn't like it. Yeah. What should they die ? I mean if he is too hot sweating maybe some people have a hot blood so very uncomfortable to sleep in the night so you whoever's sleeping with him , they should understand. No, no, no, no, no, no. Josh doesn't like the fan on. Ah, right. His other half likes having the fan on. Okay. They sleep together. Yeah, yeah. They've got a incapati they they have a friction now because they've got a difference in how they like to have the bedroom at night. She likes the fan on, he doesn't. But they want to sleep together. Unhealthy in a way because it blows the dust so constantly. It's it's a little bit cod science to me. Is it can we look this up? Is having a fan bad? It is bad. It's dry your mouth, you breathe in so much dust because it in the air. Sleeping with a fan is generally safe, but it does cause issues for some people, such as dry skin, irritated sinuses. That's what Josh is having. Or allergies due to circulation of dust. My dear. There you are . Believe in your mother. I stand corrected. Oh fair enough. That's correct. That's fine. I get it. But it doesn't solve the problem . I'll stop talking. Alright, no. No. Let them sleep in the separate room. Well that was gonna be more . When they want to do bang bang, yeah . They have to make their one of the room. Yeah. A bang air condition. Bang bang room. That's what Victoria Beckham and they do. Yeah. When they want to sleep, they have a special room. Right. To sleep. So you imagine things and you are you know going to do so let them have a room with the air conditioned. You don't have to have the fan. Enjoy. Enjoy in every position . No no dust there. A lot of couples are sleeping in separate rooms now. It's like a long it's like a big thing. Fashion or training. Why is there? The I because they're not comfortable sleeping in the same bed. And so there's this idea that you have to sleep in the same bed, but so many people , even the people that sleep in the same bed as their partner , they actually find it quite annoying. Uh uh all three of you sleep with your No, no, you don't have to ask their personal questions. Okay . Why? Why why do you why don't they have to tell? Will. It's personal. Just stop it. Do you sleep with someone else? Yes. Ah, good. And how do you find that experience generally? Are there any issues? Not really, no. I mean if we're too hot we have a fan on but, we're both fine with it. You're both fine with it. So they're both okay with the fan. Ben, what about you? What's that? Are you in the same house still? Yep. Happy. How do you find sleeping together? Fine. Think think it works really well. We did I think we have a similar temperature discrepancy. I actually I I relate to this quite a lot. Okay. I'd happily have it. I love fan on, wake up and you're cold. Yeah. I put the sheet on it.. We should sleep together I love I love it. I don't care about the temperature. I don't care how cold it is. Windows open, fan on , as cold as possible, really. You know? And then you get under the blanket and you're like. Why you can't sleep naked, isn't it? Yeah, sometimes I do. Yeah. Sometimes I do. Ah there you are. Airy. Sometimes I do. Uh John, what about you? Which bit? Do you have any issues? No. Sleeping with your partner? No, love it. Ideal. What about you? What about me? Yeah. Lisa and I have got a t a temperature differential. We can't really agree on temperature. So one of us makes a compromise. I have in the past become so uncomfortable I've gone to sleep in another room. But that's happened a handful of times and then every time it happened we then had to have a chat about it. Maybe with uh maybe with three boys they know what's happening. So that's why you sleep in a separate room. Uh that's also possible, isn't it? I don't understand I can't follow the logical . Yeah, the two boys they are grown up, they know what's going on. But why do they talk about in school. Yeah but, why do I have to set why does it what's that got to do with me sleeping in a separate room? In case they've walked in? Well the idea of them walking in is horrific . Um so sometimes in order to avoid that happening, we don't want to embarrass them. So Lisa and I will announce it. Uh we sort of walk like uh we'll walk up and down the corridor going, We're probably gonna have sex tonight, so don't come into the bedroom. I don't know. No. No. No, you ha it's easy. It's better that than they walk in. How many times a year does that happen? What Lisa's birthday, my birthday. Yeah. Sometimes do it on your birthday. Um quite recently. If Arsenal win by more than one goal probably smash time . Um if Arsenal looked good but they still lost but it was admirable, I'll suggest Smash Time. But I tell you something. If you have lots of Murunga Murunga If I go to Coughlins and they've still got Rangian Yams left, I'll suggest Smash Time. Um when we got to 100,000 followers on YouTube , suggested smash time. When we got to hundred and fifty thousand, I suggested smash time, she said let's wait till five hundred thousand . Those kind of times. You wasted all these five minutes. That's what Lisa says on that. There's a punchline . God . So boring sometimes you ask. Me? Yeah. I was listening. Maybe there was a punch going to be a punchline. Nothing. I'm only joking. What? I was just waffling on, do you know what I mean? You were waffling on. Oh you were special. Thank you to everyone for your emails. Mum, we've loved it, haven't we?
